Nature Journal page 2

Hello friends, hope the month is going well for you so far. I have loved workig in my new Eileen Hull nature journal, and today I am sharing the next two pages. And thank you all so much for your encouraging comments on the first pages I showed.

This time I took the photos before actualling journalling on these pages, - hence the empty spaces.

I have always loved painting and drawing, and after years of having mainly used stamps, collage etc etc, it is great to combine my various paper crafting loves in a little journal like this.

Here in Scotland we are very much in the transition from winter into some more springlike days, and I love drawing branches that are just starting to show their buds. Pinecones are always a challenge, but I am quite happy with how this one turned out.

Here you can see some of the collage bits I used around the hand painted images.

For this page I took inspiration from a photo posted by Pamellia Johnson. I am sure most of you will be familiar with her wonderful work. She is not only the queen of shabby chic cards, but also posts the most amazing wildlife photos.

Pamellia, if you see this, I hope you don't mind I copied your wonderful starling photo....

The feather at the bottom was a very old stamp, that I thought could do with another work out.

You may just have noticed that this page is smaller than the one on the left, this is what I love about making your own journals, you can vary the size and kind of papers of the different pages, - I like the random effect of that.

Well, that's it for today, and like always, thank you for taking the time to drop in! I always really appeciate your visits!
